Formulary Usage

The use of a formulary is diverse. You can do the following: You can discourage the use of marginally effective medications and treatments. You can assure the selected medications are proven to be safe, effective, and affordable. You can reduce the overall health care coverage costs. Every organization, such as hospitals, insurance companies, pharmacy benefit management companies, government agencies, and self-insured employers, develops its own unique formulary. There are no established universal standards to develop a formulary. Therefore, the list of drugs, methods to create such lists, and the design of each formulary can be different.

Therapeutic Classes and Subclasses

Each organization divides a formulary into several therapeutic classes and subclasses. These combinations of therapeutic classes and subclasses define and classify drug usage in conjunction with the health care plan. Therapeutic classes group similar drugs either by the disease they treat or by the effect on the body. Therapeutic subclasses further categorize the drugs into smaller groups. A drug usually belongs to one combination of class and subclass. However, some drugs are commonly included in multiple classes because they have multiple indications. Parent topic: Formulary

Formulary

A formulary is a list of drugs and a set of rules that govern the drug's use. The list represents the most current clinical opinion of physicians, pharmacists, and other experts of pharmacology and disease treatment and prevention. The list is regularly updated and revised. Each organization researches and determines the safest and most cost-effective list of drugs. In this case, an organization represents the name of a company that corresponds to a health care plan. Any number of organizations can share the same formulary; however, each organization can have only one current formulary.

Medication Classes

The Medication Classes grid on the left of the template displays the default medication classes available in NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine. The Medication List grid in the center displays the list of medications associated with a medication class. Selecting a medication class in the Medication Classes grid displays the associated medications in the Medication List grid in the center. The practice template enables you to add or remove medications associated with a medication class. These changes are specific to a practice, and do not duplicate for other practices. Note: The Medication Classifications practice template is practice specific. The updates made to the medication classes in one practice do not carry forward to other practices. Some of the Medication Classes are also used for Quality Reporting, so modifying the classes may affect the Quality Reporting reports as well.
